I’ve moved my Plex server to Truenas Scale, and I’m about to get Sonarr/Radarr/Ombi/etc setup, but first I need to get VPN going. Truenas Scale uses OpenVPN and my current VPN service is ExpressVPN (which I’ve been very happy with). Setting up ExpressVPN with Truenas has proven challenging because of certificate import issues.

Previously I’ve always run ExpressVPN locally. Do you think it’s a good idea just to put it on my router (PfSense) and call it a day? They do provide specific instructions to set it up on that specific router OS. I imagine I could always use a custom route to bypass it if needed (ie local sports on Fubo TV).

Nah that ExpressVPN article is about regular port forwarding, not through the VPN. If you use that type of port forwarding you’ll be leaking your IP.

Ugh, wait what? Why would anyone even do that with a VPN?
